If Ben Foster turns out to be the acting nominee for Hell or High Water instead of Jeff Bridges like we're all expecting, I don't think I would ever stop maniacally laughing.

[Jake Gittes]

Hell or High Water and The Witch should be all over the main categories c'mon.

It'd be the vindication for people expecting a Foster breakout after 3:10 to Yuma nine years ago.

Chris Pine was the best actor in Hell or High Water. Also, Chronic and American Honey over Hell or High Water, The Witch, and Loving?

[Jake Gittes]

Honestly if it were up to me Pine and Bridges would both be nominated in Lead, and Foster and Birmingham would both be in Supporting. Boffies here we come.

I think this dampens Hell or High Water's and Loving's chances.

no. it's the indie spirits.

 

anyway can't bitch about these choices i've only seen a couple of these movies. none of the feature nominees but i'm seeing american honey next week. been too excited for that one for a while.

 

i guess the witch will win the best first feature award but man i really hope it goes to the fits. might be the best movie of the year for me and it's gonna get no other recognition anywhere.

Lonergan out of BD race? Interesting snub.

 

Hell or High Water's snub in Best Feature race doesn't help. It needed to be there to build momentum. The same with Loving.

"American Honey and Chronic over Hell or High Water and Loving? Huh! That might be something to think about..."- said by a certain percentage of Oscar voters.
